Florida Bird Photos
Baby animals are always cute, but hard to photograph. On my recent trip to the Circle B Bar Reserve in Lakeland I saw and photographed a young Barred Owl, a young Sandhill Crane, some baby Limpkins, and baby Common Moorhens. Not bad for one morning. Today’s post is of the […]
Here are a few more of my favorite bird shots from Costa Rica. I am not truly a birder, but when you go some places, the birds are so pretty they are hard to ignore. There are a lot of cool bird species in Costa Rica of which we saw […]
